Three Mexican Liberty High students arrested in Hillsboro gang shooting

HILLSBORO — Three students at Liberty High School have been charged in an October gang shooting.
Miguel Reyes Gonzales and Ezequiel Santos Gomez, both 16, and Carlos Peguero Villa, 17, have been charged with attempted murder and unlawful use of a weapon against another.
The three teens were arraigned last week in connection with the Oct. 11 shooting and are being held in the Washington County Jail on $250,000 bail each. Their preliminary hearings are set for Wednesday in Washington County Circuit Court, at which time the charges may be amended.
All three told police they were members of the 13th Street gang, said Lt. Michael Rouches, spokesman for the Hillsboro Police Department. They were arrested after Gonzales allegedly shot Fermin Mandujano-Marin, 22, of Hillsboro.
Rouches said Gonzales had been shopping in the 1000 block of Southeast Walnut Street and was on the sidewalk a couple blocks away, making gang signs with his hands, when Mandujano-Marin drove by.
Rouches said Mandujano-Marin was a member of the rival 18th Street Tiny Winos Sureno gang. He walked up to Gonzales and asked why he was making the gang signs, Rouches said.
Gonzales allegedly responded by shooting Mandujano-Marin in the thigh with a .32 caliber semi-automatic pistol. Rouches said the slug didn’t cause serious damage because it didn’t strike bone or sever a vein or artery. Gomez and Villa are thought to have served as “lookouts,” Rouches said.
“They were looking for an 18th Street gang member to shoot or fight with,” Rouches said. “They were looking for trouble and they found it.”
